Description
The AMAN Folk Ensemble features traditional dance and music from around the world in a fast-paced, energetic, contemporary program. Their 2000 program, The Immigrants, explores what happens when artists steeped in their own traditions bump up against each other and compare rhythms, steps, and harmonies. Highlights include the Rapper Sword Dance from England, the Bottle Dance from Hungary, and the Gumboot Dance from South Africa. The finale shows how Irish step dancing migrated to Cape Breton, Canada, and then down the North America coast to become Appalachian clogging.
